I was honestly hoping for a Priv2. I was going to actually get that phone because I liked the idea of being able to hide the keyboard away.

I seriously hope it’s a slider

It’s great that they’re offering something different for those who want something different and more enjoyable to type on, than your average bland piece of glass phone

Re: physical keyboards
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
The Boon
October 25, 2020 at 12:36 am
Guess what, genius: Every single time they made a phone that didn’t have a keyboard, it failed hard.
Z10, Z30, Leap, DTEK, Motion…all touch, all flop.
Keith Foo
October 25, 2020 at 12:49 am
@The Boon Their full screen phones failed for other reasons which you’ve disingeniously avoided mentioning. Removing the keyboard was a start to making their phones desirable again for the mass market. They still haven’t addressed the other problems.
The Boon
October 25, 2020 at 12:55 am
@Keith Foo Except that the BlackBerry’s that had the highest return rates were the Storm and Z10. They were both all touch.
Their slabs were doomed to fail.
No one buys a Berry to tap on glass. There are much better offerings from other companies for that.

@The Boon so how does putting the keyboard back help them?

Apple made it that every phone is a boring piece of glass that looks just like the next one. Thanks Steve Jobs.
And no, big screens still would have been a thing, but at least there would be more sliding keyboards underneath them, like the BlackBerry Priv.

I want blackberry to come. But physical keyboard are hard to type. Is that even necessary?
The Boon
October 25, 2020 at 12:34 am
No they’re not. They’re much more comfortable and accurate to type on than flat glass.
Of course it’s necessary, don’t we already have more than enough bland slabs of glass to choose from?

It needs both a small physical QWERTY keyboard, a stylus and a large screen, about 5.5” on the screen.
Would I buy it? Probably not. It took Nokia about 2 years for people to start buying them? And they are pretty silent at the moment. Last real impact in the news was the Nokia 9
The Boon
October 25, 2020 at 12:33 am
Slider would be the only way to really provide a decent enough screen and the keyboard

If they want to revive blackberry
There are some risk that they need to do
1st they need to hook up again the people by lowering the price of there phone
A flagship spec with a price of 150 to 200 dollars
2nd they must hear what the people want for there device
3rd a Special app specially for blackberry hardware only
So that they will be convince to buy that phone because of that feature
4th and last make it cheap for international market
🙂🙂🙂

Flagship specs for $150 – $200?

Blackberry need to get rid of that keyboard if they want to stay in the market. They should be competitive enough especially there are many brand phone competitors.

The physical keyboard is just too much of a relic. It’s just not as powerful as a touch screen keyboard for multilingual support; for example, writing East Asian languages such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc.

I am using a Blackberry Motion and Key2. Blackberry is essential for having the most secure possible mobile phone. Blackberry is mainly used by people in high levels of government and corporations where true and strong security is required. The construction quality and durability of Blackberry phones are of high quality. The Blackberry phones of today are using the Android OS, specially developed for Blackberry.

Fron a security point of view Blackberry is not needed in the market now, because Huawei now has no Google and therefore no Google spying on you, and therefore the Huawei phones are now more secure by default.

Hi blackberry.
Reason why we business people moving away from your phone is because you dont have a ecosystem to our daily use. Why dont you guys work with Lenovo on business mobile workstation?

Blackberry was the celebrity phone, an iconic brand, it was what the “The hills” girls and all the IT kids in hollywood used back in 2008-09 If Blackberry would’ve just made a great first touchscreen phone we would probably have blackberry as the second mobileOS instead of Android.

what is the point of bringing BB back. they dont care about customers. no security updates, no OS support/ upgrade. they need to rework on their strategy if they want to survive at all. just yelling to the crowd about security and privacy is not enough.

When I used to work at a very large telco company back in 2005 to 2009, I handled the BlackBerry quality control division. I played around with so much BlackBerry devices and models which was so much fun. BlackBerry dominated the business Smart Phones before now its so sad to see they are no longer RIM’s baby and seeing them struggling. Well…. NOKIA also went down the drain. I guess it’s true on what they say —- “When you’re on top, there’s no where else to go but down”

I miss my BlackBerry Z30. BB10.3 was a great OS. It was really unfortunate that they couldn’t get any major apps. If they had worked on that while android was in it’s early stages things might be very different. But alas, here we are today. Looking forward to hearing what Onward Mobility has to offer.
